Question

Whipped toppings are those which use for the finishing of the cake...

Like chocolate thawed whipped cream...

Is it essential? and what is it for?

Answer 1

If it's for icing the cake, you can use any other kind of icing you like, or even jam or powdered sugar. If it's for mixing into the cake batter, you could try substituting heavy cream instead or possibly sour cream.

Answer 2

Once your cake is baked then the last and final step is the assembly of the finished product if so desired. The final assembly is a preference whether to use an icing, frosting, fondant or glaze depending on the base content of the cake. Added ingredients to the above mentioned topper and fillers are usually regional identifiers of the origin of the recipe, add or omit what you wish as long as the formula of the base cake itself is not changed.
